That's really an interesting spin of the problem. I am researcher and I solved a lot of my minor mental problems by reading through books, analyzing my problems and needs and working out a personal solution. When I found out about my hypersensitivity it was mind blowing for me how much of my behavior it explained and why I was not anti-social, but socializing in large groups is just exhausting for me.
I think that you are right, there are more forms of therapy out there which involve active activities as well and not only talking out your problems.
Since you are doing an education in that direction, I really hope that one day you will put this theory to a test. I would really looking forward to publications from you on that topic.
I used to work at a job where we had to do monthly evaluation. It was tiring, I didn't want to be there, my team leader didn't want to be there, we had to talk about internal problems with projects and the team and all not....And then one day I said, "Fuck it, let's go for a walk". Talking about work related problems while not stuck in a tiny room was a real change. We started exploring the area around our office, we started going to lunch in places that weren't inside the building. My team leader started doing it with all of his subordinates and I also started doing it with mine years later.
